This article will perhaps finish our incomplete record of the Andrews family. Two previous installments have been given, the last of these closing out with the offspring of Curtis Andrews, who married Victoria Cothron.
Next in line is Emmaline Andrews, who
married Tapley McDuffee, son of Neal and Thenie Gregory McDuffee. Emmaline was the mother of: Ansil McDuffee, married Evie Gregory; Nancy
McDuffee, who married Peyton Gregory, a brother of Evie Gregory, the brother
and sister being the children of Curtis Gregory, the son of Smith Gregory, the
son of Thomas Gregory. Brina McDuffee,
married Will Holman; and Sallie McDuffee, married Tom Holman, a brother of
Will. At a later date we hope to give
the offspring of Ansil McDuffee and other of the descendants of Emmaline
Andrews and Tapley McDuffee.
Susie Andrews married Ruff Brown, and
became the mother of: John and Joe Brown,
the family going West many years ago and this being the only information now
available concerning them or their offspring.
Alie Andrews, a sister of Susie’s,
married John Hargis and became the mother of:
Buford, Walter and Ida Hargis.
William Andrews, a brother of Jack, often
called John, and the son of the first Drury Andrews, was married first to a
Miss Wilmore, name unknown. Later, he
married Nancy Leath and last he married Nancy Jones. By the first wife he was the father of: Albert Andrews, married Margaret Shrum; Sim Andrews, who went to
Illinois; Sarah Andrews, who married Tom Shrum, a brother of Margaret Shrum;
and Cleary Andrews, who married a Grissom, a Mills, another Grissom woman and a Cox.
William Andrews had by his second wife, Nancy Leath, two daughters, Mary
and Catherine, the latter marrying a Garmon and going to Fountain Run, Ky. If Mary married, we have no record. William Andrews had by his last wife, Nancy
Jones: Harrison Andrews, who married
Susie Cothron; George Andrews, who married Adeline Gammon; and Jid Andrews, who
went to Arkansas.
Albert Andrews and his wife, Margaret
Shrum, were the parents of Bud, Rich and Julia Andrews.
Sarah Andrews and her husband, Tom Shrum,
were the parents of Bill, Sim, Liaz, Harrison, Fannie and Minerva Shrum.
Cleary Andrews was the father of Bettie,
Rilda and Fannie, the latter marrying a Glimer.
Harrison Andrews and his wife, Susie
Cothron, were the parents of John Andrews, married Susie Wilburn; George,
Eliza, Thula, Fannie, Ida, who married Elder I. N. Sloan; Dave, Loss and Joe
Andrews.
There is another Andrews family in
Robertson, Montgomery and Logan Counties. Three brothers, William, James, and
Hart Andrews, make up the first of the family, of who we have any record. William Andrews was the father of: Ella, married John Culley; Emma, married H.
White and J. A. Utley; Mary, married G. L. Stone; Joe, married Molly Blackburn;
Alice, married Robert Stone, a brother of O. L. Stone; William D. (Bud),
married Ella Lanier; James H., married Mary McMurtry; John, died at 14 years of
age; Thomas H., married Nannie McMurtry, a sister of Mary.
Ella Andrews and John S. Culley were the
parents of Effie, married W. C. Reynolds; Grace, married I. M. Covington; Nell,
married H. W. Oden; Rhea, married C. J. Fisher; C. E., married Mary M. Biggs;
Lockie, married S. G. Willis.
Emma was the mother of Elbert White,
married a Livingston; and Arthur Utley, married Ora Brown.
Mary Andrews and G. L. Stone were the
parents of Bertie, married Howard Stark; and Emma, married John Wilkerson.
Joe Andrews and Mollie Blackburn were the
parents of Harvey, Ethel, Mary, James, Edna and Robert Andrews.
Alice Andrews and Robert Stone were the
parents of Minnie, Bessie, Annie, Robert, George, Ola and Leon Stone.
William D. (Bud) Andrews and Ella Lanier
were the parents of Patrick Andrews.
James Andrews and Mary McMurtry were the
parents of Sadie, Pauline and James Andrews.
Thomas H. Andrews and his wife, Nannie
McMurty, were the parents of Hilton and Marjorie Andrews.
The above records of the Andrews family
are far from complete. We would welcome
accurate, additional information and shall be glad to publish it from time to
time.
We believe that our readers will
appreciate knowing something of their line of descent and that every person
ought to have pride enough in his or her ancestry to be able to trace the
descent of the family back through at least three or four generations.
